In August 1965, at the age of just 20, the British cellist Jacqueline Du Pre recorded the Elgar cello concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli.

It became one of the most famous classical recordings of the 20th Century.

Du Pre's career was cut short less than a decade later by multiple sclerosis.
